In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author, Mel Abraham answers a question asked by Cheryl about being a Thoughtpreneur. She asks about how I started and what was done first. She wants to know whether I did my courses or the book first, or whether I did them simultaneously. She also inquires about the time it took.


When we talk about building an Expert or Thoughtpreneur Business, it's about taking experience, education and expertise to create a difference in people's lives. My journey in this business is a bit different as I came in as a CPA.


·       The book is an offspring that came out of the 30+ years of business that I have done.


·       The training course and live events were created to deliver my expertise, experience, background and wisdom. They were created separately to leverage my time consuming one-to-one consulting business.


What I Did First



  1. I did was native and natural for me:

  2. I started with consulting.

  3. Then I started speaking and writing.

  4. Then the training programs were started.

  5. Then I did recorded programs.

  6.  Finally, I did the book.


The journey that I took isn't necessarily what everyone should follow. You have to figure out what is right for you. In the Expert Business, there are six primary modes of delivering our wisdom and experience. You can do it:



  • As an Author

  • As a Speaker

  • As a Trainer

  • As a Mentor

  • As a Facilitator

  • As a Coach



What You Should Do


Figure these out:



  • Message: Get the message straightened out and build it into a framework that's teachable, memorable and commercially viable.

  • Market: Figure out who you want to take the message to.

  • Mode: Decide on the ways to deliver your message to the market. It should work for you as well as your audience.



Combine these three. Figure out the easiest ways to do it and make it your starting point. For example: Start with a coaching program. Build and refine content through the group. Now, bridge this to actual training programs.
